Awesome music: James – Laid (Live and Studio Music Video)

I think this tune is fantastic.

The live version is better (in my humble opinion) but I just love the way it builds.

James | Laid

Live Version

The energy of the live performance just drags you in.

Lyrics:

This bed is on fire
With passion and love
The neighbours complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she’s on top

My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you’re like a disease without any cure
She said I’m so obsessed that I’m becoming a bore, oh no
Ah, you think you’re so pretty

Caught your hand inside the till
Slammed your fingers in the drawer
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in womens clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Dye my eyes and call me pretty

Moved out of the house, so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
You’re driving me crazy, when are you coming home

Note: Alternative Lyrics

The lyrics differ in each of these two videos.
In the studio music video:
The 2nd line is: With passionate love

The 10th line is: Slammed your fingers in the door

There is another ‘family friendly’ version of the song with the line – She only sings when she’s on top
